That's exactly the type of thing that would happen on a Cross outing. You'd be like, "Heeeeeeeey, want to go boating with my family?" I'd be like, "I'm there dude!" Two hours later we'd all be in the water clawing at the side of the boat trying to survive. Ah, childhood memories.
[Image] Based on true events, ADRIFT tells of six long-time friends who gather for an ill-fated celebration aboard a luxurious yacht. The champagne flows freely and soon some of the group decide to go for an impromptu swim in the middle of the ocean.
Amy, a serious hydrophobia sufferer, stays on board to look after her baby and the party’s host, Dan, keeps her company. On impulse Dan decides to cure Amy of her fear of water through aversion therapy. But when he picks her up and jumps overboard with her in his arms he discovers the major planning flaw that will test the whole group’s will to survive. Nobody had thought to put ladder down and there is no way back onto the boat. Powerless in a place they once thought was paradise, the friends suddenly find themselves in a desperate struggle to live.

1. Sigh. I'm sure it's all great, but these real-life movies about people stuck in the water -- I just don't give a rat's ass.
2. What idiots swim in the ocean without putting a ladder on the boat. I don't care how drunk you are, that's Darwinism in action.
3. I believe in aversion therapy, but the guy that grabs the hydrophobe and jumps in the water -- that's the first guy to get eaten.

They should use the guy who grabs the hydrophobe as a raft.
I disagree, I like these kind of predicament situations.

Oh, it's purely subjective on my part; I'm not denying the drama. Just leaves me cold.
